Re: how do you remove the radio?
I've never dealt with that. I have a NAV head and did pull it out one day - used the key-looking tools at WalMart ($3).
And I DID add my FRS radio interface to the back (using the old cell telephone interface pins) but that's it.
There may be a thread here talking about how to do it - somewhere. There often is with the more comon or popular mods.
